Jlin (Jerrilynn Pa!on) has quickly become one of the most distinctive composers in America and one of the most influential women in electronic music. Jlin’s thrilling, emotional, and multidimensional compositions have earned her praise as “one of the most forward-thinking contemporary composers in any genre” (Pitchfork) and a 2023 United States Artist award. She was a 2023 Pulitzer Prize nominee for Perspectives – originally commissioned and performed by Third Coast Percussion. Her mini-album Perspective, featuring the original electronic versions of the suite, was released to critical acclaim on Planet Mu 2023.

Jlin and Third Coast Percussion are united by a passion for stretching our respective musical practices into uncharted territory. Jlin’s music first came out of EDM and Chicago footwork, and TCP’s training and background is in western classical music, but both artists have found inspiration and fruitful collaboration far outside of their home base—including with each other.

The company is defined by a poetic and thrilling choreography of speed. Since 2014, Le Patin Libre has toured many of the world’s most prestigious arts and dance festivals, transforming ice rinks into theaters with their own seating and lighting systems.

The company also performs on roller skates, creating street-based works on wheels. In 2014, Vertical Influences, their breakthrough work, marked a turning point and established their presence on the international arts scene.

Lizzy & the Triggermen transport you back to the glamour of the Jazz Age, but with a sound and swagger that is thrillingly new (think Duke Ellington meets Amy Winehouse). The show is a joyously subversive mixture of vintage pop, show tunes, and biting originals that highlight Lizzy's wicked sense of humor (which she previously used to create Emmy-nominated TV shows).

The band is helmed by operatically-trained Lizzy Shapiro, who NPR raved is "one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, one part Amy Winehouse" and Broadway World hailed as "a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter." She created the band with trombonist Dan Barrett (who played with and arranged for Benny Goodman)

Their 2020 debut album, Good Songs for Bad Times, hit #3 on the iTunes Jazz Charts alongside jazz royalty Miles Davis and Kamasi Washington. They quickly went from performing in speakeasies to selling out top venues across the country and premiere jazz festivals (Tucson Jazz Festival, San Diego Jazz Party), and breaking glass ceilings for swing music, including touring with Squeeze, co-headlining festivals with acts like Samara Joy, Nancy Sinatra, and being chosen for SXSW.

Founded by Ranee Ramaswamy (Artistic Director) in 1992, Ragamala Dance Company celebrates the Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam.

As protégés and senior disciples of legendary dancer/choreographer Padma Bhushan Smt.
